Good, but only in airplane mode

This game has a simple to learn and fun combat system, witty humor, and doesn’t take forever to progress through (at least first half, getting max all classes will, but I’m a completionist). Losses will slow you, but not severely. There are a few big issues however. Firstly, the grindstone mechanic is very tedious and to an extent throttles progression (not as severely as gold costs for revive second game though.)

another issue is the paradox login seems to glitch after your first play, which makes it impossible to load if you start it online thereafter. However, if you load in airplane mode, then you can turn online back immediately after no problem or play offline. Ironically the second one is online only. A lot of people likely quit outright without knowing this workaround. I strongly suggest you patch it, the third issue is sliding spites on occasion and it’s not quite optimized for various screen sizes yet. These bugs however are surely fixable, which if done, would certainly give me reason to rate it higher. But I can’t give 4 or 5 rating to a game that’s good, but only works after you fiddle with settings. I may have the patience for that, but others won’t. Fix that, and I’ll rate it higher.

It’s alright… also where’s 2?

Lots of graphical bugs, but it’s pretty alright. There was the sequel on the AppStore a while back (I can still download it since I downloaded it before), but you guys unlisted it.

Since you guys aren’t working on that, at LEAST give this game an update to fix it.

I used to love this game... but..

I used to play this game all the time many years ago in hs. i downloaded it recently for nostalgia reasons, however right upon opening you can see they didn't even bother with fitting the game right on newer phones. it's way too big and there's not option to fix it. this gives issues with not seeing the coin number correctly, not seeing levels on the edges and struggles to pressing certain buttons which are out of screen or barely.

sad, but i'm deleting this game. until they fix it or update it, i wouldn't pick up this game.

TLDR: game buggy, don't bother

I bought items in KoPaP2

I had bought the Necromancy class along with the Druid in Knights of Pen and Paper 2. Suddenly I can’t find it on the App Store and it won’t play anymore when I download it from my previous purchases. Why is the 2nd edition of this game gone when I spend real money on the game?

Unplayable on newer phones

Just paid $4.99 to install this game on my iPhone 13 Pro Max and the game display is stretched past my screen edge, making the game unplayable. I was also unable to create a Paradox account because the register button wouldn’t click. It was also requesting birth date again, but over where you’d select your location. Very fun on the Nintendo Switch, but I’ll be requesting a refund for this app.
